[Intro 1]

[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]It was 25
years ago when [F]I began my l[C]ife
The second child of a woman
who tried [D]hard to raise us [G]right
[F]She married a [C]man when
[E]I was just a b[Am]abe
[F]Who treated me just [C]like his own,
even giv[G]ing me his [C]name[G][C]
[F]I never knew my f[C]ather,
[E]I only knew his n[Am]ame
[F]I never knew the w[G]ay he moved,
[F]how he talked or wha[G]t he said
[F]Now I'm grown and
my [C]momma says
You're like your [G]daddy,
just the [C]same[F][C][G][C][G][C]
Sometimes I got to wondering
About this [F]man I never [C]knew
But I find myself in something
Just the [D]way he used to [G]do
[F]Heard stories all my [C]life
of [E]how he loved to [Am]sing
[F]And how he would [C]take apart
and [G]fix most [C]anything
[F]I never knew my f[C]ather,
[E]I only knew his n[Am]ame
[F]I never knew the w[G]ay he moved
[F]How he talked or [G]what he said
[F]An d now I'm grown [Dm]and
my [C]mama says
You're like your [G]daddy,

[Interlude 1]
just the same

[F]I

[Verse 2]
[C]can't say that I don't care
That he [F]died before I was [C]born
I get to asking why he did
And I'll [D]probably ask some [G]more
[F]But my life's been [C]good,
I can't [E]say that I've had it [Am]bad[C]
[Am]But [F]now I'm seeing[C] years
that [G]my dad never [C]had[F]
[C]I n[F]ever knew my fath[C]er,
[E]I only knew his n[Am]ame
[F]I never knew the w[G]ay he moved,
[F]how he talked or wha[G]t he said
An[F]d now I'm grown and
my [C]mama says
you're like your [G]daddy just the
[C]same[F][C][E][Am][F][C]
[G][C]
You
